A purplish-blue tie bought new at the fête and
combined with a crystal necklace & new lilac
bag to go with the scarf around my hat; great,
and when I showed this ensemble to Thea
and the kids - how they laughed!
Thea asked how much for the new tie, only five
rand say I, bought in support of the old age home;
she advised better stay away from the Home –
see why we never let on she’s our mom; the kids
spluttered; pointing to the effect of crystals and tie
Unperturbed I brought out the large grey hat with
silver flowers worn with the purple mask: now that
shows good taste Thea approved; encouraged I
showed her the hat that makes me feel like an
assassin; a hat I wear every day - the kids said
That’s probably why no-one ever tries to attack me;
people are either scared or bent double laughing
when I draw near, so I laugh with them, who cares
what others think when I have so much fun!
